Who is behind Famaka? We are three sisters, Karla, Fabiola & Martha, who all happen to share a love for
collecting dolls (even though Karla won’t really admit it...hehe). We grew up playing with Barbie. We had
fun redressing them and styling their hair…we weren’t very good though, but you know what they say
“practice makes perfect.” :)

We stopped playing with Barbie because we picked up other hobbies like; making our very own jewelry, and
sewing clothes and what not. Yet we always felt something was missing. We couldn’t figure out what it was
until our dad came home from the Goodwill where he bought us a Native American Barbie. Our dad always
buys us stuff to create new designs (i.e. dolls, fabrics, and other things).

A few years ago we discovered that we could alter our dolls to make them unique & give them their own
personality. We did this by repainting, re-rooting and redressing them with outfits that we made especially
for them. Luckily for us our mom taught us how to sew. She always encouraged us to be creative.

In late 2003, we found other people who share a love for Barbie. This was when we joined the Barbie Fan
Club there we met a lot of wonderful people, and we made some good friends. If it weren't for the club we
would have never met our very dear friend Claudia from Pink Ponytail Presents (a great Barbie shop). We
always look forward to our visits to Claudia’s store! We don’t go over just to shop; we’ve spent many hours
talking about all the things that are going on in our lives.

Claudia has been there for us since we first met her. We were at a difficult place and time in our lives, and she
could not have been more supportive. And for that we will always be grateful, she has been a true friend, who
has stuck by us through our ups and downs. We like to think of her as our fourth sister ;).

During one of our visits she surprised Fabiola with a gift…it was Red Moon her very first Silkstone. From that
moment on we fell in love with the Silkstones, so we started collecting a few of them.

However, when the Model of the Moment Barbies came out it was love at first sight. Our collection focus
suddenly and rapidly shifted to the Model Muse dolls. They were our main inspiration to start modifying dolls
again since there wasn't that many Models back then. After we started making our own fashions and jewelry
designs we wanted and loved to give out goodies to our Barbie buds.

When we first started sewing and modifying our dolls we realized that we had a great opportunity to bring in
our signature trendy fashion style to the doll world. No other designer was doing it, so we brought in this
NEW Style when we introduced our torn jeans, crop tops & mini-dresses.

We recently got the Fashion Royalty fever! And we were fortunate enough to receive our first Fashion
Royalty doll as a gift from our good friend Terri (from the BFC). We had always wanted to collect them but
they’re so exclusive we missed out on them.

Fast forward to the present…we finally got our website up and running with a lot of encouragement from our
friends (a special thanks to Claudia for giving us that extra push and kick on the butt, LOL!).

We would also like to give a special thanks for all the advice and support to our good friend Tina from
Dollyhair.com She's been nothing but wonderful to us.

In case anyone is wondering why we chose the name Famaka for our site well…Fabiola Martha Karla. We
love working as a team…we always talk before making any important decisions, and that is why we decided
to combine our names for this site.

Please keep checking Famaka.com for all the New & Exciting things to come!

Cheers,
